Mac Vs PC Chess Set

September 10th, 2009

Designer Adam Frederick has created a way (or maybe an appropriate arena)to heat up put an end to the war between the top two biggies of the gadget world, Apple and Microsoft. Frederick has brought both the sides on a conceptual chess board to battle it out in what could possibly end up as an un-friendly game of chess between geekfans of each gadget giant.

I may be wrong, but I detect a slight hint of partiality for the large fruit company, at least judging by the chessboard base. We at OG  are also guessing you have at least one device from both the warring camps. If this chess match was to really take place, which side would you support? Tell us in the comments section.

Let the games begin!

Vacuum Tube Chess is cool

June 30th, 2009

This one is for all of you out there who would love to see some sort of tech involved in the simplest of things in life (myself included!). The vacuum tube chess has been developed by an artist Paul Fryer. Looks like the artist developed only seven of these and that too a year back. So, there are hardly any chances of this one getting into your hands. You can appreciate the work though in through the comments.

Wonder if these heat up while playing. That could invent a new game in which you have to move each tube as many times as possible before burning your hand.
